Inside the court room, the public defender representing the 26-year-old suspect offered a glimpse of what we may expect as his defense, arguing Malindretos may be suffering from an undiagnosed mental health disorder. Meanwhile, the United States District Attorney's office says they were able to make an arrest after finding many of the materials caught on surveillance.
"Searched the car and seized a mask, gloves and a sweatshirt consistent with the attack in the video," said Philip Sellinger, U.S. Attorney for the District of New Jersey."Hate crimes have got to stop," one FBI official said.
